Ex-girlfriend of Christian Brueckner tells a German court she met him on a dating site which she later found was used by ‘sick people’

Brueckner, a convicted rapist, later met the woman and drunkenly bragged to her about breaking into Algarve holiday apartments while naked and using a pair of tights as a mask, she said. She was giving evidence in Braunschweig regional court, where Brueckner is on trial accused of carrying out sex attacks on women and children in Portugal, including three rapes.
“At the beginning I thought it was about me. But when I spoke to him, I mentioned my daughter. She was almost four … He said she was cute and could be a model.”
Brueckner, 47, is the man German investigators believe abducted three-year-old Madeleine from her parents’ rented holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007. The present trial involves separate charges against him, which he denies.
The witness told the court that Brueckner had boasted that while living in Portugal he had claimed to have repeatedly burgled holiday apartments at night, stealing jewellery, watches, cash and passports from wealthy tourists, and that he had done this wearing a pair of tights as a mask.
“I can remember he said he had tights over his head, with goggles. But when he talked about walking around with goggles on, well … the idea of walking past people who were sleeping wearing goggles, I just thought, ‘Who does this?’”

The woman described dates with Brueckner, including visiting him at a shop where he worked and his allotment, and going to watch a football match in Braunschweig. She said she had often brought her three-year-old daughter with her.
Brueckner had “always” been drunk, and she “never knew him sober”, but she said his behaviour had not made her worried about leaving him alone with her daughter, which she sometimes did.
